Has not happened to me but I've seen many other posts where the unfill worked.

Yep! There are tons of posts about this topic. Simply do a search and you'll find them. GOOD LUCK

I have a crazy question. My band slipped so my physician took all the fluid out to see if this would fix the problem. We'll I had to have a lower back X-ray and the radiologist thought I had a vp shunt. In reality what he was seeing was my lapband cord!!! My surgeon says this can happen and nothing to worry about? Has anyone else had their band show up on a lower back X-ray?

Don't know what type of device you post from but on a PC you can see that only 4 people follow this thread including you and me. To get more eyes on your issue you should start your own thread/topic where hundreds of eyes will see.

I am in the same boat, however, the unfill didn't work. I go into surgery tomorrow morning to reposition the band.

Just had an unfill and my band slipped back into place. However, I've noticed that since then I am much more sensitive. I feel tighter when I am on my period, when I have a runny nose, or just about anytime I'm not at 100%. Not a big deal I just need to pay attention. My doctor has also told me it is more apt to slip again once it has slipped the first time. Gosh I hope not, that was miserable.
